My 16v one came with a flange, springs and bolts to be attached to the exhaust. Most half decent customer exhaust makers should be able to help sort you out though.

Cool that`s good to know :hugegrin: .Think i might get my mate to knock something up,i have a 4ft length of s/steel tube in 2in diamiter.
Sure i could join thay more easily than how it is a the mo.
How loud would it be if i removed the middle box,and just had the supersprint back box ? It sounds lush at the moment,more like a big sports bike than a car,when it`s on the cam it sounds dirty,can`t help myself,short blasts of acceleration :blush: .
Had a 16 v escort try it on in Huntingdon the other day,oh my was he embarassed

Been told the vaux astra use a pipe with the same fitting,so off to the scrappy,there are plenty in the local one,want to get it all ready before i remove the current one.
